Bill Summary
Supporting the Local Radio Freedom Act.
AI Summary
This concurrent resolution supports the Local Radio Freedom Act by expressing Congress's stance against imposing new performance fees or royalties on local radio stations for broadcasting music. The resolution highlights the long-standing mutually beneficial relationship between radio stations and the recording industry, noting that radio provides free publicity and promotion for musicians through airplay, interviews, and concert promotions. It emphasizes that local radio stations play a critical role in providing essential local news, emergency information, public service announcements, and charitable support, and argues that a new performance fee would cause severe economic hardship for thousands of radio stations and related small businesses like bars, restaurants, and entertainment venues. The resolution ultimately calls on Congress to reject any new performance fees or charges related to broadcasting sound recordings, asserting that the current system has successfully supported the innovative and prolific music and broadcasting industries in the United States.
